Coronary arteriovenous fistulas are rare coronary anomalies. Most fistulas arise from the right coronary artery and drain into the right heart structures. We report a case of a 59-year-old man with a rare coronary arteriovenous fistula that originates from the left coronary artery and drains into the superior vena cava. He was diagnosed incidentally with cardiac computed tomography during the investigation for atrial fibrillation. Surgical fistula ligation was successfully performed under cardiac arrest with cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient was discharged without complications.
